DekatronPC insights: Verilog model develop

A project log for DekatronPC

Silicon-free computer on vacuum and cold-cathode tubes with pure brainfuck instruction set

I started develop the Verilog model of DekatronPC computer in order to analyze low-level schematic of all future blocks.

This model would be very useful for:

During the first time, while no DekatronPC blocks are exit, I will use FPGA emulator to analyze correctness.

While new computer blocks will be done, I will replace emulated parts with the physical one - So just right after the first computer block become to real life - I'll already can show how it works.

Now, I'm working on instruction fetching, and loop handling code. All the code is available on the github repository
